The conversations I had with that particular coach in the game made me really think about it again. He knew the game well.
Your right he probably knows the game well but not the rules!

Either I'm good at getting this, or I'm not seeing things correctly and I'd like to make sure I'm getting it right.
You don't see it called a lot because it's not! I've had problems while moving up to higher levels (College) because I see a lot of travels but I don't call them because I don't want to be the only one on the court calling travels. Maybe when I'm an experienced vet I can call the game the way it ought to be called!
